Storyline

- TriviaIn the original series a continuing plot had the character Nadine obsessed with creating silent drape runners. This episode shows Nadine running a shop named "Run Silent, Run Drapes". The name references that fact as well as the movie, Run Silent Run Deep (1958).
- GoofsThe interview of Janey-E with the police shown in the TV news differs in both dialog and movements compared to the one shown in episode 7. They are clearly two completely different takes of the same scene.

Featured review
Even the violence is over-staged
In this episode we have - again - a series of vaguely connected, self-standing short stories. Bad boy Richard brings trouble wherever he goes; weird Candie behaves like your garden-variety Lynchianesque character; Log Lady sends cryptic messages.
At least, some of the action makes sense, even if a lot of it is violence to women. However, even in the dramatic scene of Richard and his granny, Lynch manages to dilute the tension by focusing on annoying, staged details (see the freakish doll...).
The sex scene is totally non-erotic... I felt like hitting the only woman left untouched: Janey, who by now must have pronounced the name "Dougie" just about a billion times
Despite the fact that the plot moves a bit, I doubt I will ever warm up to the characters. There are way too many of them, their stories are too sketchy and it seems a case of "famous actors wanting to add a Lynch-role to their curriculum" such as Ashley Judd - what is she doing here exactly?
Then, there is the level of suspended disbelief required. We know this is fiction, we know characters are not "real" but we still need a reason to follow their stories and root for (or against) them.
Considering the super-slow narrative, the lack of plot, the abundance of Lynch-nonsense and quirks for quickness sake, it seems to require too much of an effort to buy into this weird, unsettling, grim humorless world.
